RESIDENT AND COMMUNITY GROUPS SHOULD BE MORE ACTIVE IN PROMOTING DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION WHICH AIMS AT PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE CHANNEL OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE GOVERNMENT AND THE PEOPLE, THE ACTING SECRETARY FOR DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION, MR ALBERT LAM, SAID THIS (WEDNESDAY) EVENING.
+THE OBJECTIVES OF DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION ARE TO PROVIDE MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESIDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN DISTRICT AFFAIRS AND TO LISTEN TO PUBLIC OPINION ON VARIOUS MATTERS, + MR LAM SAID.
IN THIS WAY, THE GOVERNMENT WILL BETTER UNDERSTAND THE VIEWS OF THE DISTRICT, AND WHENEVER POSSIBLE, TAKE EFFECTIVE MEASURES TO MEET THE NEEDS OF RESIDENTS,+ HE ADDED.
